Lauriston Farm Toby Carvery in Edinburgh, City of

I visited the restaurant just after 6pm. It was fairly quiet with it being a Monday. I was waiting for 5 minutes before a member of staff acknowledged me despite them having seen me they were too busy to chat. When I eventually got my table, I went to get the meat and was waiting another 6 minutes as there were no staff at the counter. When I eventually got dinner, I was given the 4 smallest pieces of meat and everything was barely warm (including the sides and gravy). I’m not sure if the hot plates had been turned off in error. Nobody even asked how my meal was. I would not go back.

Had a lovely dinner with the family. Nice meal for the good prices. Excellent servers. Shout out to Alexandra and Valentina.

Drink are excellent, brilliant quality and the staff always have good chat. Never had a bad visit here. Great place foe the football and to catch up with my pals! Have dined a few times and the food is always great, can recommend a takeaway if you're in a hurry!

Met with my parents here for coffee, as always a very warm welcome from Campbell. That simple “how are you all” and smile makes for a great visit. Nothing ever too much trouble for the staff here. Thanks again Campbell for your outstanding hospitality

Took the offer for £6 per person per meal. Brilliant 4 choices of meat and all you can eat veg. Pushed the boat out with a bottle of Rose. Got a lovely window table and we were taken care of by a lovely young lady called Cat. Excellent we will be back this month. Thank you Cat.

I have been in for breakfast at Tobys at Lauriston farm and for dinner and I have each time received outstanding service the team is very warm and welcoming the food is spot on every time meat is cooked to high standards fantastic value for money Erin and val are always pleasant and welcoming I will definitely be coming here more often the staff definitely make the experience. can’t believe it’s took me so long to experience the location is stunning keep up the great work guys.

When it comes to Toby this restaurant has nice interior clean and spacious great service and food definitely call again

Toby Carvery does what it says on the can and for £6.49 you can’t complain! We went for a nice early morning walk with our dog Kali at Crammond beach and walked up for breakfast. The staff are lovely and friendly. They cater for Kali the dog, treats, water bowls and blankets. It is a buffet style breakfast, you can ask for your eggs cooked the way you like them. They pancakes were nice with maypole syrup. Steve liked the cooked breakfast but was disappointed that the Handmade Potato, Bacon, Cheese & Onion Hash was not on the menu. On the Sunday we were in they were having staffing issues so running behind on buffet and some things were off the menu but the manager explained this is unusual. You can opt for endless coffee and tea which warmed us up after our walk. Toilets and premises are clean. We will return as it filled a space after a night out with friends, it’s cheap and cheerful. 💛

Went for a walk with my son and his dog and decided to stop off for a carvery. Definitely not disappointed as it was delicious and very reasonably priced.

It's a nice place, good service and atmosphere, but often poorly prepared food can ruin it. Watery mashed potatoes or gravy sauces, soggy puds overcooked, cheesy pasta are often served, thanks God the meat is always good quality.

Hubby and I out for some lunch. We had the carvery which was varied/hot and plentiful although we both thought the slices of meat a little on the thin side but the Yorkshire Puddings are huge. Staff very friendly and quick to serve with coffee etc. We both had a sweet, my husband had the cheesecake served with cream (choice of ice cream as well) which he said was very nice. I went for the seasonal crumble (apple and plum) which also was plentiful and served with a good size jug of custard (my choice) both were very hot.

Nous sommes arrivés à 8pm il n y avait personne dans le restaurant. On nous a dit que c était complet. Je vous déconseille fortement ce restaurant.

The only place anyone should consider going for a roast in Edinburgh. Fairly priced and with a familiar, comforting feeling about the restaurant and staff.

Service very good. Food not good. Waited 30 mins for a turkey to appear. Meat was stringy.Ham could not eat.Potatoes uncooked and cold. Only thing enjoyed was the ice cream and wine. Glad only paid 50% all it was worth.

Toby Carvery hosted us in their 'Wee Neuk' space, which was especially cosy and Christmas-y! The purpose of our gathering was to say 'thank you' to our hard-working volunteers, and everyone left feeling very appreciated, with an ample amount of sandwiches, snacks, desserts, and teas and coffees! Staff were brilliant as well, working with us to make sure set-up was suitable, and they checked in on us from time to time to make sure we were happy. Great space, great service, great food! Altogether a lovely time.

This is our regular carvery. Never let us down. Nice staff and good food. The car park is okay and can usually find a space.

We decided on just the carvery and upgraded to the large plate. We had very little of each slice of meat except the gammon, we had two big slices of that and you could hardly get a knife through it, it was like a rubber flip flop with loads of sinew running through. The roasties were hardly cooked, most veg was either rubbery or was mushy and tasteless and yorkshires flat and soggy. The parsnips were good and the sausages were brilliant. just have the sausages!! Gravy tasted of nothing and there was only mint sauce, the other sauces were all empty. This was on a Thursday and the place was about 1/3 full. On top of that we were advised we could have a soft drink and refill them as we wished but we were not told a price and couldn’t find a price anywhere. When the bill arrived we had paid £3.75 for a glass of cola Never, never again.

I was blown away by the service and the food at Lauriston. After a recent trip to Stratford Upon Avon and a very disappointing meal at a Mitchell & Butler restaurant my expectations were low entering Toby Carvery. Wow, how wrong was I, the carvery was brilliant, food hot and fresh, staff were brilliantly friendly and engaging but not overbearing, the restaurant was clean and atmosphere was perfect. Can’t recommend highly enough!!

Toby@ Laureston farm is an excellent freindly welcoming environment, was in today and welcomed by the marvelous grant A and Val and they always go the extra mile even at 8 am, nothing is to much bother to them and grant the breakfast cheif has all the breakfast perfectly prepared there colleges have a lot to live up to but they all manage to prepare and serve the food in a great friendly mannor. I feel happy while eating in Toby laureston with great views over the forth and fife with lots of free parking and nice sea front walks.

Great place to eat n drink The staff are awesome Alexandra Moses Chloe etc all fab I love coming here for food and a drink

Amazing value for a massive plate of Sunday roast favourites. Warm friendly staff who can't do enough for you. Great experience...

Good, honest food at an affordable price. We had great service from Val, (I think her name was?) which meant staying we had to stay for more dessert and after diner drinks. Really lovely evening and huge shout out to all the staff!

Very disappointed tonight, Carvery ran out of Beef just after we were served, although the small slice I had been served up was grisly anyway, very soggy Yorkshire puds which even the chef looked embarrassed to be offering out, and then a ladle of cold...

Went for a “roast dinner” and boy was it fantastic! The restaurant was clean, warm & inviting. The staff were genial. & welcoming. I chose roast beef - which was delicious, tender and plentiful. I walk with 2 sticks & was assisted to vegetables gravy...

The breakfast was late out this morning, the two chefs were both wearing their civilian clothes (jackets included) to cook and serve the food. This was extremely off-putting as fron a food safety stance, this is unacceptable. I'm sure the company policy would ensure the...

Just start by saying that we never use Toby much but in the area and location got us booking a table . No need to fret as the staff looked after us very very well and my husband is a strict vegetarian and accommodating his...

Netter Ort, aber nicht so berauschend wie von vielen beschrieben. Das Essen ist in Ordnung, aber auch nicht sensationell. Wer...

Great place to go if you are looking for a delicious carvery and of course, have a big appetite! Thanks to Campbell, Chloe, Declan and Moses. Amazing staff and food. Staff is very welcoming and up for a chat and laugh!

At the end of a long walk, was good to be able to get a filling meal here. At £10 for plate of roast meat, potatoes and loads of vege, who can complain? Husband paid extra £2 to supersize and plate was enormous! We ate...

casual, affordable, homely dining for everyone. Met a friend up here before a walk down to cramond... Keeping to my roots, I LOVE a roast dinner, but the fact I can help myself and create my own? I was basically in roast heaven. The staff...

We came for a little late lunch and the veg still looked amazingly fresh! and the new chef was so good at carving the meats and kept us chatting till we finished plating up our food didn't catch his name , great service 👍

The staff here at toby carvery are very friendly and excellent. The food is amazing and it’s top quality meat you’re getting on your plate with plenty of options available. Can’t recommend this restaurant enough everytime me and my wife come in your always welcome...

Great tasting food. Good selection of meats and vegetables. Very good value for money. Staff were all friendly and welcoming.

Lovely food - fresh and hot. Would definitely recommend. The staff are so friendly and helpful too!

A great place to catch up with friends, child friendly. Our server Val was fantastic and did a great job looking after us. Will definitely be back and would recommend to family and friends

Amazing carvery, great food and servers were so friendly and helpful. Sticky toffee pudding was also delicious and we found it to be child friendly too. Will definitely be back!

Busy night but we got served reasonably quickly and our server Nicola helped by carrying my carvery as I’m disabled. Fresh food and hot. Missed the cabbage!

Great service, nice food - thanks. Catriona was a great waitress. Food was good quality. Will be back thanks

Excellent service, delicious food and good atmosphere to sit in and eat dinner with your family. Close to a farm and a good scenic view.

Was ok. You get what you pay for. I don’t want to queue and listen to the chef moan about how long he has worked without a break. Needs a refurb.

Great Sunday family lunch. Visited here on a whim after visiting family. We were greeted warmly at the door and a table found quickly despite us having a few requirements. Highchair and flat level needed. The host despite being busy made us feel at ease...

Had a great time visiting, went for a lovely walk down cramond with my dog and then was able to sit in the bar area and have my carvery! Was brilliant, lots of food and even dog blankets, water bowls and treats so my dog...

Delicious food which is plentiful. We come here after dog walks and love how our pup can join us for a meal in the bar or outside. Great when there's sport on as the bar is cosy and good to sit for an hour or...

Stopped in spur of the moment after spending the day down at Crammond. It was a great decision. Given a lovely table up near a window in the raised platform with stunning views out towards Fife. The restaurant is very clean m, fresh and modern...

Excellent all you can eat breakfast buffet with unlimited tea and coffee. Food piping hot and cooked to perfection. Service was fantastic and friendly too. Will be back soon! I have also dined for lunch and dinner previously which was also superb.

We visited for breakfast - the food was fresh, hot and very tasty! Would highly recommend. I have also visited for lunch, also delicious! The service is always excellent too, staff are so friendly

100% top carvery we have traveled all over the country on hoilday and always find a Toby carvery and I must say thank you as there was four of us and each of us said how fresh well cooked and tasty our carvery was not...

È un self-service che sarebbe anche carino, ma purtroppo ci ha servito una cameriera poco professionale e decisamente scortese che...

For starters the view from the car park alone was incredible, so we had to be fast getting a seat overlooking the forth (great success!). We were greeted by Chloe who got us all paid and ready to go explaining the process as it had...

Great reputation and well deserved the lunch we had was a delight. A larger portion/ plate for just one pound more. A choice of meats, a slice of each please, and help yourself to vegetables gravy always good just like mother makes and a selection...

This was a wonderful night. Our friends were celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. The staff especially Jack were fab. They let us bring a cake and helped so much. Thank you.

I ate here tonight with my husband and 2 children. The kids eat for £1 deal makes a night out for dinner such good value for money, especially on a Friday night. We were looked after by Grant who deserves a shout out. He was...

Arrived at the always splendid Lauriston Farm for an afternoon meal with my wife and daughter. Food was excellent, as was the service from all the staff we encountered. Highly recommended.

A firm family Sunday favourite. Absolutely love this place and it’s the go to for all our family meals. Great location with beautiful views. Plenty of car parking spaces and easily accessible by bus. All the staff are so friendly and even if you are...

My dad and I came for an early dinner just on impulse. As always, the carvery was delicious. On this occasion we had a really lovely waiter called Grant, who was friendly and attentive to our every need. It made our week night impromptu early...

Great time at Toby’s! No time frame in which they kick you out, a group of 15 of us were there for a feast and we so appreciate having time to chill and enjoy our food. Good quality and huge! Servers were all great

Just want to say the staff where absolutely lovely and so friendly with how busy it was we had a lovely waitress who was so polite and amazing at checking on us give that lady a raise her name was Valentina

Being veggie I asked what had meat. Gabriel was really helpful then organised veggie sausages and roast potatoes as the potatoe had bacon in it. He checked we were all ok. The food was lovely best veggie sausages i have ever had.

Received amazing service from Gabriel (with one L!) tonight :). Will definitely be coming back soon.

Gabriel was amazing today he should get a big raise he was amazing and he is an amazing paper aeroplane inventor

Great food with great service. Thanks Gabriel for being so friendly and making us feel so welcome!!!

My favourite location ! Friendly staff great atmosphere, great food , children & dog friendly plus car park too. Gabriel was so welcoming from the moment we stepped through the doors. Well done to all the staff too.

We visit Toby carvery often, and really enjoy the location, because we come often we like to try diffarent stuff on the menu, 9 times out of 10 the soup of the day is tomato & basil🤢sometimes the filled ciabbata's can be a hit or...

The staff here are absolutely amazing! Gabriel, one of the staff, was incredible. Very easy to talk to, very helpful, jovial and made the visit a very pleasant one. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic dinner! Grant was great, serve us drinks extremely quickly, checked back on us and also offered deserts! The chocolate fudge cake is to die for!

Quickly met and the door and well looked after by Grant. Food was great as always and the team here are all really friendly. Love the desserts as well

Meat portions were very small. Sides were not very good at all. Totally disappointed. Don’t know if I will ever go back here.

ein na ja Erlebnis. Essen nichts besonderes, eher Kantinen Essen. Restaurant ist schön, wenn jetzt noch das Essen passen würde...

Fantastic service from Stella (I think) Food was as expected, drinks promptly served. Was a nice meal in a nice place. Will definitely come back.

Sunday at 5.00pm, restaurant not busy, veg all cold, meat cut with a scalpel, complaint met with an expressionless indifference by both the female managers. This was so bad there is not enough space to do justice to the poor service. We live next to...

After leaving north Scotland about 5am we were in need of breakfast so stopped here. Glad we did friendly service food good quality so all good and as you'll great value

Return to this restaurant again and again due to the tasty food, efficient service and value for money. This is a well managed Toby with friendly staff and the food is always to a high standard.

Visited with family, on 22.06.2022 table booking time at 8.30pm. We only wanted beef for meat & all the other roast veggies. Hardly any beef left when we got served. Well trained precision portion trimming 😭. No complaints about veggies, as lucky we could at...

We visited this Carvery on Saturday afternoon the restaurant was not busy. The staff where very friendly & helpful. The Carvery was great. We had a very good meal. May be they could improve by having more gluten free sweets not a lot of choice...

I visited here for breakfast with my friend and was very impressed with the standard of breakfast. It was freshly cooked and a lot of variety to choose from- definitely good value for money. We were greeted by Colin who took us to our table...
